How is this different from the regular AlphaRet Overnight Cream?

The Intensive version contains 2x the concentration of AlphaRet technology, making it suitable for experienced retinoid users who want accelerated results. It's not recommended for retinoid beginners.

Can I use this if I'm already using other anti-aging products?

Yes, but introduce slowly. Avoid using with other strong actives like glycolic acid or vitamin C in the same routine. Use vitamin C in the morning and this product at night.

Will this cause peeling or irritation?

The AlphaRet technology is designed to minimize irritation compared to traditional retinoids, but some initial dryness or mild peeling is normal when starting. This typically subsides within 2-4 weeks.

How long before I see results?

Most patients notice improved skin texture within 4-6 weeks, with significant improvements in fine lines and firmness visible after 12 weeks of consistent use.

About Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream

The Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream represents SkinBetter Science's most concentrated retinoid formulation, featuring their patented AlphaRet technology that combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid for enhanced penetration and efficacy. This powerhouse night treatment delivers 2x the AlphaRet concentration of the original overnight cream, making it ideal for experienced retinoid users seeking accelerated anti-aging results. Formulated with moisturizing and barrier-supporting ingredients, this intensive treatment helps minimize the dryness and irritation typically associated with high-strength retinoids. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and overall skin quality after consistent use. The 30ml tube provides approximately 2-3 months of nightly application when used as directed.

How to Use

Apply to clean, dry skin in the evening only. Start with 2-3 times per week for the first month, gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Always follow with SPF during the day as retinoids can increase photosensitivity. Discontinue use 1 week before any professional treatments.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

Start this product after completing a series of Morpheus8 or CO2 laser treatments to maximize collagen remodeling and maintain results. Our SkinIQ analysis helps determine if you're ready for this intensive formulation or if you should begin with the standard AlphaRet Overnight Cream.
